It began with the forging of the Big Rings… three were given to the mountain bikers. (sorry, I couldn’t resist some LOTR-esque start once I decided to make this a 3 part tale). This trip was certainly an adventure, nothing like the trip Frodo went on though as I didn’t see a single dragon, troll […]

Moab Trip, in Three Parts
I’ve decided to break the trip down into three parts: my journey getting there, up to meeting Bob and spending a few days in Moab learning from him going to Vegas to pick up Andrea, the time we shared riding and camping around Moab, and then heading back to Vegas the trip back to Toronto […]
Desert Flora
I know better than to try to name all of these flowers, let me just say that seeing a desert come into bloom is amazing. Enough words, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. A private garden
Back in Toronto…
I’m still just gathering up all the loose ends of the trip and have unpacked all of the “stuff” from Babe but I’m not quite prepared to sit and write down all the thoughts and memories… still digesting those I guess. I enjoyed the trip a lot, on a number of different levels, and it […]
On the Return Trip Already!
Free time with Internet connectivity has been a very scarce commodity on this trip so all of the full updates and photo galleries will have to wait. My plan is to not use motels on the way back unless the weather is a problem so there may not be too many opportunities for updates. The […]
Exhausted but still full of adrenaline…
I’m sure lots of my friends can relate to this post, it’s the result of an adventure-filled day and the effects last for a varying length of time (I assume there’s a direct relationship to the level of excitement and duration of the high but haven’t bothered to get clinical in any form of analysis). […]
On the road to Moab – day 2
It’s either 9:30pm or 10:30 pm, I haven’t set clocks so I’m not sure which time is right for where I’m camped tonight (which is the home of the Jesse James wax museum in Stanton MO, don’t ask). Regardless of which clock is right, I’m enjoying sitting here in a t-shirt… the weather has improved […]
A Monday without work
I remember the first few days after I finished up at IBM… it was an odd yet pleasant sensation. Doing what I have on my list of things to do, at my pace, is a nice feeling. And so is planning and looking ahead to the next adventure. Here’s a rough approximation of what it […]
Another countdown: the end of my first contract experience
I’ve now officially let it be known that I won’t renew my IT contract, which ends in mid-March. With just over a month left I’ve started thinking through the steps I need to complete to wrap it up professionally and to what comes next. It’s exciting, I suppose that is part of the nature of […]
2014 starts with the fruits of labour
Welcome to 2014!I’m really excited by the prospect of getting back on the road, back into photography, back into the things I was stoked about it at the start of 2013. I’m hoping it plays out better this year! So far so good… Here’s how it started for me:1. I worked until about 10pm on […]
